General description

Product Source: N-terminal 6His-tagged, recombinant, human GRK1 full length, expressed by baculovirus in Sf21 insect cells

Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade. This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination.
